Improvement in vapor-burners



UNITED STATES PATENT GFFIon.

CHARLES ROYLE,`OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,060, dated July 16, 1872. l

Specification describing certain Improvements inVapor-Burners, invented by CHARLES ROYLE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York.

Figure l is a detail sectional view of my improved burner taken through the line a: w, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention will rst be fully described and then clearly pointed out in the claim.

A represents the body of the burner, upon one side of which is formed a socket, al, into which the end ofthe feed or supply-pipe is screwed, and from which a small passage, c2, leads into the valve-seat c3 at the lower end of the cavity c4 in said body. The cavity c4 leads to the tip, and in it the vapor is mixed with air as it passes to the said tip. O is a wire gauze or perforated sheet-metal partition placed at the base ot' the tip B to finely divide the escaping stream of air and gas, or vapor, and cause it to escape thoroughly and uniformly mixed, so as to give a clear and/steady flame. The air is admitted to the chamber a4 through a large hole, a5, in the side ofthe lower part of the body A. D is acover which is pivoted to the side of the burner A in suoli a position that it may be turned or adjusted to partially or wholly cover the hole a5 to enable the quantity of air admitted to be regulated as the qualit-y ot' the gas or vapor may require, to render it best adapted for burning, or to entirely prevent the entrance of air when required. E is a screw passing in through a screw-hole in the lower end of the body A and which has a conical valve formed upon its forward end which fits into the valve-seat c3 so that by turning the said screw upward the valve will be entirely closed, and by turning it less or more outward less or more of the hydrocarbon will be admitted to the burner.

Upon the screw E, at the lower end of the body A, is placed or formed a collar, e. Upon y the screw E, just below the collar e', is placed a packing, F, of rubber, leather, or other suitable material. G is a cap screwed upon the lower end of the burner A inclosing the collar e and packing F, and having a hole in it for the passage of the end ofthe screw E. By this construction the packing will be forced down closely against the cap G by thecollar e when the screw E is turned down and will prevent any of the hydrocarbon from finding its way out around the thread of the screw E and droppin g from the lower end ot' the burner.

The lower end of the screw E may be squared oft', as shown in the drawing, to receive a key,

or a thumb-piece may be formed upon or attached to it, as maybe desired. H is a segment of a solid ring, the ends of which are attached to or formed solid with the opposite sides of the upper part ot' the body A. The solid ring H is inclined back a little so as to be in the rear of the plane of the slit in the tip B, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to be heated by the llame without affecting the formv or light-giving capacities of said name.

. By this construction the solid ringH be- A comes heated and heats the body A ofthe burner sutciently to generate the vapor or gas.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pateut- The double-acting screw-valve E, having conical valve on end and collar e when applied to .the body A of a burner, as and for the purpose described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 20th day of October, 1871. Witnesses: CHARLES ROYLE.
